John Heron

John Heron, known as Max, has had a connection with rowing for over 20 years and he was nominated for his huge contribution to the development of rowing at Whitlingham Boathouses in Norwich.

Over a period of five years, Max pulled together volunteers, commercial entities and other stakeholders to deliver a new community boathouse for the Club. In addition to this, Max managed everything from fundraising, design, construction to delivery. As a result of his efforts, Norwich Rowing Club’s membership has doubled, and participation has grown in all age groups, especially with adult beginners.
